Nigerian stars Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, and Raphael Onyedika face crucial UEFA Champions League playoff second leg tests today as they aim to help their clubs reach the competition’s last 16.
Onyedika’s Club Brugge hold a slim 2-1 advantage over Lookman’s Atalanta heading into their clash at the Gewiss Stadium, while Chukwueze’s AC Milan must overturn a 1-0 deficit against Feyenoord at the San Siro.
The first leg saw Onyedika play a pivotal role in Club Brugge’s victory, completing the full 90 minutes as Gustaf Nilsson’s 94th-minute penalty secured a dramatic win after Mario Pasalic had cancelled out Ferran Jutgla’s opener.
However, Lookman missed the encounter due to injury but could make a return for the crucial second leg as Gian Piero Gasperini’s side aim to reach the Champions League last 16 for the first time since 2020/21
